An atom of this element is bonded to nitrogen and oxygen in the CBS catalyst. Like carbonium, compounds of this element often exhibit 3-center-2-electron bonds. A mineral of this element forms cross-links between polyvinyl alcohols found in certain glues to form a slime-like polymer. A compound of this element can react with an alkene in an anti-Markovnikov fashion. Found in Pyrex glass, this element is used to dope p-type silicon and forms trigo

A compound of this element can react with an alkene in an anti-Markovnikov fashion. Found in Pyrex glass, this element is used to dope p-type silicon and forms trigonal planar trihalides, common examples of Lewis acids. Somewhat stable with only 6 valence electrons, it is an exception to the octet rule. For 10 points, name this fifth element with symbol B.
